public class FirebaseRemoteConfig extends Object

Entry point for the Firebase Remote Config (FRC) API.

Callers should first get the singleton object using getInstance(), and then call operations on that singleton object. The singleton contains the complete set of FRC parameter values available to your app. The singleton also stores values fetched from the FRC Server until they are made available for use with a call to activate().

Public Methods

public Task<Boolean> activate ()

Asynchronously activates the most recently fetched configs, so that the fetched key value pairs take effect.

Returns
  • Task with a true result if the current call activated the fetched configs; if the fetched configs were already activated by a previous call, returns a Task with a false result.

public Task<FirebaseRemoteConfigInfo> ensureInitialized ()

Returns a Task representing the initialization status of this Firebase Remote Config instance.

public Task<Void> fetch (long minimumFetchIntervalInSeconds)

Also: Google Play services

Starts fetching configs, adhering to the specified minimum fetch interval.

The fetched configs only take effect after the next activate() call.

Depending on the time elapsed since the last fetch from the Firebase Remote Config backend, configs are either served from local storage, or fetched from the backend.

Note: Also initializes the Firebase installations SDK that creates installation IDs to identify Firebase installations and periodically sends data to Firebase servers. Remote Config requires installation IDs for Fetch requests. To stop the periodic sync, call delete(). Sending a Fetch request after deletion will create a new installation ID for this Firebase installation and resume the periodic sync.

Parameters
minimumFetchIntervalInSeconds If configs in the local storage were fetched more than this many seconds ago, configs are served from the backend instead of local storage.
Returns
  • Task representing the fetch call.

public Task<Void> fetch ()

Also: Google Play services

Starts fetching configs, adhering to the default minimum fetch interval.

The fetched configs only take effect after the next activate() call.

Depending on the time elapsed since the last fetch from the Firebase Remote Config backend, configs are either served from local storage, or fetched from the backend. The default minimum fetch interval can be set with FirebaseRemoteConfigSettings.Builder#setMinimumFetchIntervalInSeconds(long); the static default is 12 hours.

Note: Also initializes the Firebase installations SDK that creates installation IDs to identify Firebase installations and periodically sends data to Firebase servers. Remote Config requires installation IDs for Fetch requests. To stop the periodic sync, call delete(). Sending a Fetch request after deletion will create a new installation ID for this Firebase installation and resume the periodic sync.

Returns
  • Task representing the fetch call.

public Task<Boolean> fetchAndActivate ()

Asynchronously fetches and then activates the fetched configs.

If the time elapsed since the last fetch from the Firebase Remote Config backend is more than the default minimum fetch interval, configs are fetched from the backend.

After the fetch is complete, the configs are activated so that the fetched key value pairs take effect.

Returns
  • Task with a true result if the current call activated the fetched configs; if no configs were fetched from the backend and the local fetched configs have already been activated, returns a Task with a false result.

public Map<String, FirebaseRemoteConfigValue> getAll ()

Returns a Map of Firebase Remote Config key value pairs.

Evaluates the values of the parameters in the following order:

  1. The activated value, if the last successful activate() contained the key.
  2. The default value, if the key was set with setDefaultsAsync.

public boolean getBoolean (String key)

Also: Google Play services

Returns the parameter value for the given key as a boolean.

Evaluates the value of the parameter in the following order:

  1. The activated value, if the last successful activate() contained the key, and the value can be converted into a boolean.
  2. The default value, if the key was set with setDefaultsAsync, and the value can be converted into a boolean.
  3. DEFAULT_VALUE_FOR_BOOLEAN.

"1", "true", "t", "yes", "y", and "on" are strings that are interpreted (case insensitive) as true, and "0", "false", "f", "no", "n", "off", and empty string are interpreted (case insensitive) as false.

Parameters
key A Firebase Remote Config parameter key with a boolean parameter value.
Returns
  • boolean representing the value of the Firebase Remote Config parameter with the given key.

public double getDouble (String key)

Also: Google Play services

Returns the parameter value for the given key as a double.

Evaluates the value of the parameter in the following order:

  1. The activated value, if the last successful activate() contained the key, and the value can be converted into a double.
  2. The default value, if the key was set with setDefaultsAsync, and the value can be converted into a double.
  3. DEFAULT_VALUE_FOR_DOUBLE.

Parameters
key A Firebase Remote Config parameter key with a double parameter value.
Returns
  • double representing the value of the Firebase Remote Config parameter with the given key.

public FirebaseRemoteConfigInfo getInfo ()

Also: Google Play services

Returns the state of this FirebaseRemoteConfig instance as a FirebaseRemoteConfigInfo.

public static FirebaseRemoteConfig getInstance ()

Also: Google Play services

Returns a singleton instance of Firebase Remote Config.

FirebaseRemoteConfig uses the default FirebaseApp, so if no FirebaseApp has been initialized yet, this method throws an IllegalStateException.

Note: Also initializes the Firebase installations SDK that creates installation IDs to identify Firebase installations and periodically sends data to Firebase servers. Remote Config requires installation IDs for Fetch requests. To stop the periodic sync, call delete(). Sending a Fetch request after deletion will create a new installation ID for this Firebase installation and resume the periodic sync.

Returns

public static FirebaseRemoteConfig getInstance (FirebaseApp app)

Returns an instance of Firebase Remote Config for the given FirebaseApp.

Parameters
app

public Set<String> getKeysByPrefix (String prefix)

Also: Google Play services

Returns a Set of all Firebase Remote Config parameter keys with the given prefix.

Parameters
prefix The key prefix to look for. If the prefix is empty, all keys are returned.
Returns
  • Set of Remote Config parameter keys that start with the specified prefix.

public long getLong (String key)

Also: Google Play services

Returns the parameter value for the given key as a long.

Evaluates the value of the parameter in the following order:

  1. The activated value, if the last successful activate() contained the key, and the value can be converted into a long.
  2. The default value, if the key was set with setDefaultsAsync, and the value can be converted into a long.
  3. DEFAULT_VALUE_FOR_LONG.

Parameters
key A Firebase Remote Config parameter key with a long parameter value.
Returns
  • long representing the value of the Firebase Remote Config parameter with the given key.

public String getString (String key)

Also: Google Play services

Returns the parameter value for the given key as a String.

Evaluates the value of the parameter in the following order:

  1. The activated value, if the last successful activate() contained the key.
  2. The default value, if the key was set with setDefaultsAsync.
  3. DEFAULT_VALUE_FOR_STRING.

Parameters
key A Firebase Remote Config parameter key.
Returns
  • String representing the value of the Firebase Remote Config parameter with the given key.

public FirebaseRemoteConfigValue getValue (String key)

Also: Google Play services

Returns the parameter value for the given key as a FirebaseRemoteConfigValue.

Evaluates the value of the parameter in the following order:

  1. The activated value, if the last successful activate() contained the key.
  2. The default value, if the key was set with setDefaultsAsync.
  3. A FirebaseRemoteConfigValue that returns the static value for each type.
